The shape of the sacrum—along with its ridges and grooves, and the fact that it is wedged between the ilia—helps to bring natural stability to the SIJ. This is known as form closure. If the articular surfaces of the sacrum and the ilia fitted together with perfect form closure, mobility would be practically nonexistent. However, form closure of the

The brain (and body) craves consistency and sustainability.

A standing forward fold, by any name, is a static stretch, and all stretching is a tensile force applied to a myofascial unit. It should be noted that as tensile force is applied to tissues, they creep. Creep is the biomechanical term for the deformation of viscoelastic tissues. Once the tensile force is removed, tissues then recover and return to

“The most direct route to elite grip strength is IronMind’s Captains of Crush Grippers [which are available up to 365-pound resistance].

In this article, a team of orthopedic specialists conclude that in order to be efficient, we must learn to “move our center of mass through

cellular level, as understanding how our tissues repair and remodel is the key to preventing injuries and maintaining peak performance

7 First, excess stiffness at one joint will cause compensatory hypermobility at an adjacent joint that is a team member in the same multisegmental movement. Second, these patterns are to some extent predictable.

When a particular joint is in optimal position for safety and performance with regard to a particular function, we can say the joint is in neutral, or centrated. Centration implies maximum bony contact between the two bones forming a joint, which allows the safest and most effective transfer of force. It also means that muscles will be at their opt
